1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia. 2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece. 3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. 4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. 5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas. 6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight. 8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together. 9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead. 10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him."

11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed. 12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land. 14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene. 15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus. 16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly. 18 When they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time, 19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews; 20 how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus. 22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there; 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me. 24 But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

25 "Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more. 26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men, 27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. 28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears. 32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing. 34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me. 35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’"

36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, 38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

1 A, no te mutunga o te ngangau, ka karangatia e Paora nga akonga, ka tohutohu i a ratou, ka poroporoaki, a turia atu ana e ia, haere ana ki Makeronia.

2 A ka haereerea e ia aua wahi, me te whakahau i a ratou ki nga kupu maha, a haere ana ia ki Kariki;

3 A, ka toru ona marama ki reira, i nga Hurai ano e whakatakoto whakaaro ana mona, i a ia meake rere ki Hiria, ka whakaaro ia kia hoki ma Makeronia.

4 A i haere tahi i a ia tae noa ki Ahia, a Hopate o Peria, te tama a Piru; a Kaiu o Rerepe; a Timoti hoki ratou ko Tikiku, ko Toropimu o Ahia.

5 Otira kua haere atu enei i mua, a e tatari mai ana ki a matou i Toroa.

6 Na i te mutunga o nga ra o te taro rewenakore ka rere atu matou i Piripai, a po rima ka tae atu ki a ratou ki Toroa; a e whitu nga ra i noho ai ki reira.

7 Na i te ra tuatahi o te wiki, i te mea kua huihui matou ki te whawhati taro, ka kauwhau a Paora ki a ratou, e mea ana hoki ki te haere i te aonga ake; a ka kumea roatia tana korero a waenganui po ra ano.

8 A he maha nga rama i te ruma i runga, i te wahi i huihui ai matou.

9 Na tera tetahi taitamariki, ko Utiku te ingoa, i te matapihi e noho ana, kua tino parangia e te moe: a, ka roa tonu te kauwhau a Paora, na ka pehia rawatia ia e te moe, na ka taka iho i te toru o nga whakapaparanga o nga ruma, tangohia rawatia ak e kua mate.

10 Na ka heke iho a Paora, a hinga ana ki runga ki a ia, awhi ana i a ia, ka mea, kei ngangau koutou; kei roto hoki i a ia tona wairua.

11 Na ka kake atu ano ia, ka whawhati taro, ka kai, a ka roa rawa te korero a puao noa, ka haere.

12 Heoi arahina oratia atu ana e ratou taua taitama, kihai hoki i nohinohi te koa.

13 Na ko matou kua riro i mua ki te kaipuke, a rere ana ki Aho, i mea kia utaina a Paora i reira: nana hoki i whakarite, i mea hoki ko ia me ra uta.

14 A ka tutaki ki a matou ki Aho, ka utaina ia, a rere ana matou ki Mitirini.

15 Rere atu ana matou i reira, a i te aonga ake ka taea te ritenga atu o Kio; ao ake ano ka u ki Hamo a noho ana ki Torokiriuma; ao ake ano ka u ki Miretu.

16 I mea hoki a Paora kia rere i waho ake o Epeha, kei roa ia ki Ahia: i porangi hoki me kore e rokohanga atu ia e te ra o te Petekoha ki Hiruharama.

17 Na ka tono tangata atu ia i Miretu ki Epeha, hei tiki i nga kaumatua o te hahi.

18 A, no to ratou taenga mai ki a ia, ka mea ia ki a ratou, E matau ana koutou ki taku tikanga i roto i a koutou i nga ra katoa, no te ra tuatahi iho ano o toku taenga mai ki Ahia,

19 Papaku noa iho te ngakau i mahi ai ahau ki te Ariki, he maha ia nga roimata me nga whakamatautau i pa ki ahau, i nga Hurai e whakatakoto whakaaro ana moku:

20 Kihai i puritia e ahau tetahi o nga mea pai; i whakakitea atu ano ki a koutou, i akona nuitia ki a koutou, i tenei whare, i tenei whare;

21 I kauwhautia hoki ki nga Hurai, ki nga Kariki, te ripeneta whaka te Atua, me te whakapono ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti.

22 Na, tenei ahau te haere nei ki Hiruharama, he hereherenga na te wairua, kahore hoki e mohio ki nga mea e pa ki ahau i reira:

23 Heoi ano ko ta te Wairua Tapu e whakaatu nei ki ahau i tenei pa, i tenei pa, e mea ana, kei te taria mai ahau e nga mekameka, e nga mate.

24 Otira kahore ahau e ihupuku ki te ora, hei painga ki ahau ake, engari kia taea taku e whai nei, me te mahi i homai ki ahau e te Ariki, e Ihu, ara kia whakaaturia te rongopai o te aroha noa o te Atua.

25 Na e mohio ana tenei ahau, heoi ano kitenga o toku mata e tetahi o koutou, e te hunga i kauwhau haere nei ahau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua i roto i a koutou.

26 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou aianei, Kahore oku poke i nga toto o tetahi tangata.

27 Kihai hoki ahau i manawapa ki te kauwhau i te whakaaro katoa o te Atua ki a koutou.

28 Na kia tupato ki a koutou, ki te kahui katoa ano i meinga ai koutou e te Wairua Tapu hei kaitirotiro, whangaia te hahi a te Atua i hokona nei e ia ki ona ake toto.

29 E mohio ana hoki ahau ki tenei ka riro ahau, tera e puta mai ki a koutou he wuruhi nanakia, e kore nei e tohu i te kahui;

30 A ka whakatika ake etahi tangata i roto i a koutou ano, korero ai i nga mea parori ke, hei kukume i nga akonga kia whai i a ratou.

31 Na reira, kia mataara, kia mahara ano ki nga tau e toru kihai nei ahau i mangere i te po, i te ao, ki te whakatupato i tenei, i tenei o koutou, me te tangi ano ahau.

32 Na, tenei ahau, te tuku nei i a koutou ki te Atua, ki te kupu hoki o tona aroha noa, e kaha nei ki te whakatupu ake, ki te hoatu hoki i tetahi wahi ki a koutou i roto i te hunga katoa kua oti te whakatapu.

33 Kihai i hiahiatia e ahau te hiriwa, te koura, te kakahu ranei, o tetahi.

34 E mohio ana ano koutou, na enei ringa i mahi nga mea i matea e ahau, e oku hoa hoki.

35 I nga mea katoa i hoatu e ahau he tauira ki a koutou, kia penei ta koutou mahi kia atawhaitia ai e koutou te hunga ngoikore, me te mahara ki nga kupu a te Ariki, a Ihu, i mea ra ia, Ko te whakawhiwhi, nui atu te hari i to te whiwhi.

36 I te mutunga o tenei whai kupu ana ka tukua ona turi ki raro, ka inoi tahi ia me ratou katoa.

37 He nui hoki te tangi o te katoa; hinga iho ratou ki runga ki te kaki o Paora, ka kihi i a ia;

38 I tino mamae pu hoki ratou i te kupu i mea ai ia, heoi ano to ratou kitenga i tona mata. Na ka arahi ratou i a ia ki te kaipuke.
